commercial article says: The prolonged alb
sence OF animation 10 the chief department is
creating some anxiety to sellers, though
prices are not much' affected. moderate
business has been done in China staples.
There has been some inquiry for yarns for
CHINA ana Japan, resulting in & little busl-
ness. Leading India merchants are not in
clineo to buy. Orders in hand are mostly IN
feasible. II Is significant that some signify
delayed deliveries OF finer Indian fabrics
made from EgI ptian cotton have been re-
FUSED, though the cost of production and cur
rent quotations are much higher than the
prices at which they were sold. There is u
fair inquiry for cloth for some south Ameri-
can markets. For other minor outlets the
demand Ii small. The home trade CON plains
OF the iatepess Of the spring trade AID the
tardiness of distribution. The production 10
generally much engaged. Occasionally sellers
want fresh orders urgently. a small general
business has been done IN yarns for The con
tnent. Home business has been poor, espe-
o1ally for yarns made from American and
East INDIA cOLtOns. Those spun from Egyptian
Ia ~ a Hn..a
cloth have not been up to the average. For
some maEes OF China shirtings there have
been fair sales, but India shlrttngs, jacOne 5
and dhooties have been neglected. Best and
